Orders are now open this week for the General Motors Co.s first EV Cadillac, a 2023 Lyriq crossover that comes with the $62,990 rear-drive option and gets up to an estimated 312 miles on a charge, GM said on Monday. Cadillac opened preorders on the 2024 Lyriq electric SUV on June 22, after a debut edition of the 2023 model sold out, with rear-wheel-drive versions set to be sold through this fall. While the non-Debut Edition 2023 Lyriq starts at $62,990, including delivery, the 2024 Lyriq electric SUV is expected to cost more, reflecting increased costs of materials, logistics, and technology, according to an Automotive News report, citing Cadillac officials.
Cadillac announced the price and range of the Lyriq, its next electric SUV, coming this summer. General Motors confirmed on Tuesday that the production of 2023 Cadillac Lyriq electric SUVs would begin on March 21, with the opening of new orders set to begin on May 19. Cadillac, one of the more iconic units of U.S. automotive giant General Motors U.S. automotive giant General Motors has begun producing 2023 all-electric Cadillac Lyriq SUV The 2023 all-electric Cadillac Lyriq SUV is being built at its Spring Hill Assembly Plant in Tennessee — the first time Cadillac has ventured into the world of electric vehicles. The 2023 Cadillac Lyriq SUV charts GMs future of all-electric vehicles with its luxury brands.
The 2023 Cadillac Lyriq SUV uses GMs first iteration of its Ultium platform, which is used by the Chevy Bolt EUV, the GMC Hummer EV, and upcoming EVs. GMs luxury brand is expecting a 300-mile range minimum, and the Lyriq comes with single-pedal operation and paddles on the steering wheel to allow the driver to adjust the regen-braking levels. Cadillac is touting 300 miles for the recently revealed Cadillac Lyriq 100-kWh battery, matching that of the Performance version of the cheaper Tesla Model Y, although it is a bit lower than the long-range models, as well as both cheaper variants of Teslas Model X. The new all-new architecture is also said to be a component aspect of the recently-revealed Cadillac Lyriqs design, which should aid in vehicle stiffness, and therefore, overall performance.
From afar, the Cadillac Lyriq is a compelling two-row SUV, although it is not a particularly unique-looking vehicle in Cadillacs large, angular lineup. The recently revealed Cadillac Lyriq will feature Cadillacs autonomous-driving technology, Super Cruise, that is already available on new models from the marque, including the 2021 Escalade. Our test car was loaded nine-to-one with safety tech and driver aids like adaptive cruise control, advanced parking assistance, and Super Cruise, the semi-autonomous, hands-free driving assist system from General Motors.
The Lyriq will be built at GMs Spring Hill production plant in Tennessee, with Canadian customers expected to receive deliveries by the end of the summer. Cadillac is making a comeback, and our test car certainly helps, thanks to its innovative design cues, lengthy driving range, and luxurious, tech-savvy cabin. Cadillac is going to be shaping the future of luxury transport through the range of electric vehicles that Cadillac is planning, and that starts with the Lyriq. General Motors Cos Cadillac will offer EVs in 2025, the Cadillac Lyriq, Symboliq, Celestiq, Escalade EV, as well as the Compact SUV.
Regular-wheel Cadillacs crossover, Lyriq, will start deliveries this fall, with deliveries expected from May 19 until delivery; however, an all-wheel-drive version is expected to start at least $64,990, and not arrive for customers until next year. General Motors began building the Lyriq in spring with the spring hill assembly plant in Tennessee, and the rear-wheel-drive models will ship to customers in summer. Cadillac is set to open reservations for the 2023 Lyriq AWD on May 19; deliveries of the RWD LYRIQ models begin this summer. GMs luxury brand, which is targeting an all-electric vehicle by 2030, will start taking reservations for the Lyriq on May 19, with a debut version set for delivery this summer.
Cadillac spokesman Mike Albano declined to say how many orders for the Lyriq have been received from Cadillac so far for 2023, but GMs luxury brand said it had approximately 233,000 reservations as of March. Rory Harvey, global vice-president for Cadillac, said the Lyriqs demand is very, very strong, with 250,000 hands-raisings for the product.
Today, with deliveries approaching, GM announced several additional details on the Lyriq, including updates on the range and price. Jan 20 (Reuters) – A pre-production version of GM Cos (GM.N) Cadillac Lyriq electric SUV has been assembled, with a final production version expected to ship to customers within months, chairman Mark Reuss said on a LinkedIn post Thursday. While some dealerships do not seem sold on plans to carry the all-electric Cadillac as they are announced for 2020, GM also said it is in the process of converting Cadillac dealerships to new Cadillac EV experiences built around the automakers digital retail platform. Cadillacs first all-electric car, the Lyriq SUV, is an absolute beauty, and Cadillac has already registered considerable interest in its first battery-electric car.
Spring Hill Manufacturing currently produces the GM Luxury brands compact crossover, the XT5, and Cadillacs three-row crossover, the XT6. The electric GM that is at the heart of the Lyriq crossover uses a 12-cell drive battery that is capable of around 100kWh, and that does not, according to EPAs conditional loop, let the vehicle go for 499km on a single charge. Our test car is the Lyriq with a rear-wheel-drive configuration, a 12 module, 100-kWh battery pack, and a single-motor system producing 340 horsepower and 325 pound-feet of torque, with a claimed 502-kilometre range.
